Holy Basil (Ocimum tenuiflorum), with its glorious aroma, has been called the “elixir of life” and is believed to promote longevity because of its unique ability to “remind” the cells of the messages they began with so that they continue to reproduce like younger cells. The main purpose of our Mineral Mists is to emulsify them directly into your Nourish & Replenish Oil to create a Moisture Duo. Our Mineral Mists are created from a distillation process that mimics water’s natural cycle – vaporizing from the earth and condensing into pure rain and settling into mineral-rich pockets of earth. Hydrosols are steam-distillations through plant materials that grab onto the essences (water-soluble phytonutrients) of flowers & herbs. We then re-mineralize our hydrosols with calcium, magnesium, potassium, and over 70 trace elements which are vital to cells for generating energy and cellular communication.
